Great metal release by the ex-Kiss guitarist.I saw him with Kiss on their poorly recieved 'Creatures Of The Night' tour.I was disappointed with this album/CD's failure to take off as I always thought it would.Top rate 100% pure heavy metal musicianship to be fully experienced here.Tracks that did it for me were "Boyz Are Gonna Rock"(still love seeing the video),"Shoot U Full Of Love","Twisted","Do You Wanna Make Love" and the anthem-like "Back On The Streets".Line-up:Vinnie Vincent-guitar,Dana Strum-bass,Robert Fleischman-vocals and Bobby Rock-drums.Recommended.Didn't Fleischman have a solo hit out awhile back with "All For You"?I still never did locate a copy of that lp.Know I saw him open for Van Halen's very first state wide headlining tour.Alright,time to step out of the time capsule.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great music...crappy guitar solos, July 4, 2003

I bought this album when I was 13 years old back in 1986. I loved it then, I love it now. The music is very solid. The singing is better than Mark Slaughter, and the songs are very catchy. Vinnie's rhythem playing is very cool, but the solos [are bad]. His playing is sloppy, uncontrolled, and monotonous. I know of a million guys that can play faster and cleaner than Vinnie...That aside, the songs are really good, and Vinnie's rhythems are great. Buy this album, but don't get excited about the fast playing, because, believe me, it is very sub-par. My favorites include "Shoot ya full of Love", "Twisted", "Boyz r gonna Rock", and "Do ya wanna make love". The last 3 minutes of "Invasion" is the biggest waste of space.

Darn good cd, but there is just one thing- Ever wonder how he was playing all those super high notes that don't really exist on the guitar? He recorded most of the solos with the speed on the tape machine slowed down to where the music was an octave lower. Then when sped back up to normal, it sounds like he is playing much faster and much higher pitched. It is a technique invented over 50 years ago by Les Paul. Cheating? Well, In this case YES, because he did it not so much as an artistic effect but to be the fastest guitarist on the block.
